conflict may obtain a continuance by filing a motion that includes alternative dates on which all parties
will be available.

Plaintiff, as a pro se litigant without access to the Court’s electronic filing system, is
reminded that all documents filed with the Court must be contemporaneously mailed to the
counsel for Defendants, and must include a Certificate of Service indicating the date on which
the document was mailed. Plaintiff is also ordered to inform the Court and opposing counsel,
immediately and in writing, of any changes to his mailing address and/or telephone number. A
failure to do so may be cause for the Court to dismiss this case for Plaintiff’s lack of prosecution.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
